Imagine the world after 100 years full#

This will ultimately allow us to create memory back-ups with the information stored remotely via an online service provider in exactly the same way as many of us already do with the data on our computers and mobile devices.īy 2025 technology advances will give rise to new immersive live and virtual leisure experiences. Three major projects in Europe, the USA and China are currently involved in major research activities to understand how the brain stores information and memories. It won’t be long before we will have mapped how the human brain works and technology companies will be competing to host the ‘back up’ of our brains online - like a brain cloud. Many smaller and poorer countries may find it impossible to cope on their own with the accelerating pace of change and the cost of keeping up to speed with a globally connected planet.īy 2025, we could see between 20 and 25 country mergers as ‘at risk’ nations seek to come together to create the critical economic strength and attract the investment required to serve their populations and compete in the hyper-connected era. The map of the globe will change - driven by economic forces. The evolution to 4D printing - where objects make themselves - will enable the manufacture of body parts that can self assemble and adapt their shape and properties over time, giving us limbs that could reinforce themselves as we age. 3D printing already allows us to create replacement body parts. These will help us track every vital sign and link directly to both our own handheld devices and to monitoring services provided by our healthcare providers. Both fields will continue to progress and we will see genetic treatments to eliminate conditions such as rage and obesity.Īll of these enhancements will be monitored and managed 24/7 by a variety of wearable technologies and devices implanted into our bodies. Brain-enhancing drugs are already a reality and we can now have super-smart prosthetic limb replacements that have greater functionality than the ones we were born with. By 2025 we will be witnessing a new breed of human 2.0 and 3.0 who have “hacked” their own bodies. Human augmentation will accelerate in the next decade.

Here we take a brief look at 10 scenarios exploring how some of these developments could come together and impact different aspects of our world by 2025:

For example, handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets now allow us to have live video conversations with our friends, translate instantaneously between multiple languages, watch full length videos and monitor diverse aspects of our health from blood pressure to oxygen flow and stress levels.ģD printing is now being used to create everything from blood cells to entire houses, while new aircraft such as the A380 can carry over 800 passengers on a single flight.Īs we look ahead, the decade could be shaped by advances in nanotechnology, information technology, vertical farming, artificial intelligence, robotics, 4D printing, super-smart materials, neuroscience, the biological sciences and genetics. Our lives have been shaped by developments which most of us couldn’t have imagined a decade ago.

So what changes could these developments bring about for life as we know it? We only have to look around us to see just how much can change in a relatively short space of time. Join us.Our world is being transformed by rapid advances in sciences and technology that are touching every aspect of our lives. Thank you for stepping up to create a world without hate as an individual, community, school or corporation.ĪDL is most grateful to the families of those featured in the video, whose commitment and participation made this campaign possible, and to the Estate of John Lennon for granting us the rights to use his beautiful and iconic song. Join us by watching, sharing and taking steps every day to create a world without hate. Imagine what these individuals could have continued to contribute to society if bigotry, hate and extremism had not cut their lives tragically short.Īfter 100 years of fighting bigotry and fostering respect, we are celebrating our successes, while at the same time recognizing that we still have a long way to go to achieve the reality of a world without hate. Take just 80 seconds of your time to watch this powerful video, which imagines a world without racism, homophobia or anti-Semitism - a world in which the hate violence that took the lives of Martin Luther King Jr., Anne Frank, Daniel Pearl, Matthew Shepard and others did not happen.

In honor of our Centennial Year in 2013, the Anti-Defamation League launched the “Imagine a World Without Hate” video and action campaign, and we invite you to participate.
